M2 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 "A B-52H Stratofortress preparing to take off for a Continuous Bomber Presence mission aborted on take-off and caught fire at approximately 8:30 a.m. local time on the Andersen AFB flight line," a statement released by the 36th Wing at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam reads. "All seven aircrew members have safely egressed the aircraft. No injuries have been reported. Emergency responders are on scene." An earlier statement explained, "The B-52 was deployed to Andersen AFB from Minot, North Dakota, as part of the DoD's continuous bomber presence mission in the Pacific. The aircrew are members from the 69th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron and were performing a routine training mission." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFreddie Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The news report on the radio this morning was literally two sentences so it is good to hear the crew is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Dawg Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Maintenance says jet is Code 2....you're taking it, right sir? But seriously, so glad the crew's ok. This could have been much, much worse. If you look off the nose about a jet's length, that's the start of a six-hundred foot cliff. Huge props to the A/C for getting this jet stopped and the crew off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosuper Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 A Crew Chief more eloquent than myself wrote this and has been making the rounds. I remember her as an love hate relationship scooping snow off her at K.I. Sawyer. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
